An integrated mobile surveillance and wireless sensor (iMouse) system and its detection delay analysis

Published: 10 October 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) provide an inexpensive and convenient way to monitor physical environments. Integrating the context-aware capability of WSN into surveillance systems is an attractive direction. We thus propose an <u>i</u>ntegrated <u>mo</u>bile s<u>r</u>veillance and wireless <u>se</u>nsor (iMouse) system, which consists of a large number of inexpensive static sensors and a small number of more expensive mobile sensors. The former is to monitor the environment, while the latter can move to certain locations and takes more advanced actions. The iMouse system is a mobile, context-aware surveillance system. We demonstrate our current prototyping for home security applications. Besides, we analyze its event detection delay under an any-sensor-detection model.
